REVIEW OF THE WEEK,

BERLIN, March 27.-Although it is
pass the ecclesiastical bill without alter
ing its main provisions as approved by
the Oberhaus, it is' also certain that the
debate will disclose great discomfort
among the National Liberals over the ex-
tent of the concessions Many Conserva-
tives are equally dissatisfied although
they restrain from open opposition. Herr
| StrucRerson, National Liberal, gave ex-
! preston TO the feelings of his
party towards the close of
the debate, declaring that he had no con-
| fdence in The pacific disposition of the
| bishops; that the concessions already
made TO the Catholic church would fail to
effect complete Cancellation, and that
once beginning to make concessions, it
would be found necessary, for the sake
OF peace, to Concede whatever should be
demanded. The Liberals deplore the bill
as resctionary step that adds greater
strength to the Pepel power within aud
without Germany.

mics, are his own countrymen.

Bismarck's action a. effective statesman
ship, but all sides admit the oppOrtupist
character of the concession and DOUBT
whether the pe&ce with the church will
be long maintained.
